Let me tell you about a place called Taylor Camp, a tropical oceanfront utopia without rules, politics or bills to pay. Anti-establishment all the way, clothing was optional and decisions were made according to the “vibes”. It was the ultimate hippie fantasy. The land was owned at that time by actress Elizabeth Taylor's brother, Howard from 1969-1977 when he bailed out a rag-tag band of thirteen young Mainlanders jailed on Kauai for vagrancy and invited them to camp on his oceanfront land. Soon waves of hippies, surfers and troubled Vietnam vets found their way to Taylor Camp and built a pot-friendly tree house village at the end of the road on the island's North Shore. This is where I met my husband Andy 40 years ago and we’ve been living in paradise ever since. There is now a movie.
The documentary focuses on this first wave of hippies, who found paradise on a little stretch of beach known as Taylor Camp. The film features interviews with the actual hippies who lived there in the beginning and the eventual end of taylor camp in 1977. The interviews are very recent, so the once youthful naked hippies in the film are now some of the most entertaining senior citizens on earth. The film also features a stunning collection of black and white photographs taken by John Wehrheim, which really bring the place to life.
